Fabien Roussel, leader of the French Communist Party, has pledged to keep criticism of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to a minimum during the presidential campaign. His campaign director, senator Ian Brossat, told La Tribune that "we will not fall into aggression," signalling an effort to keep left-wing infighting in check. Commenters reacted with scepticism, with one mocking the pledge as a sudden conversion, and doubts remain about how long the truce will hold.
